Old Timers Survivors luncheon set for July 23 at Rusty Rail in Canastota

The fifth gathering of the "Old Timer Survivors" promises a lot more stories and laughs from past high school athletic seasons.

Former Section III executive director and Baldwinsville High School athletics director Otis Sennett is inviting the community to join his group for a luncheon on July 23 at the Rusty Rail in Canastota.

Sennett said the gatherig is open to everyone involved in the past with high school athletics, whether its coaches, administrators, officials, media or players. Past attendees have ranged in age from 40 up to 90 years old.

The group had about 25 people for last year's event. Sennett said he's got reservations for 27 this year and hopes for more.

Cost of the buffet lunch is $14. Sennett calls the food "excellent" and the conversation better. Food service begins at noon. He needs all reservations and checks sent by July 18.

Sennett, who is 85, said he was athletic director at Baldwinsville for 29 years and worked 25 years in Section III (10 as its executive director).

To make reservations or for further information, call Sennett at 638-3039.
